CTF Maps

We try to put a good balance of aesthetics and gameplay into maps so that they appeal to basically everyone

 

The current maps aren't totally good though, due to the 1.8 change some maps are very laggy because of the heavy amount of non-block items and need to be dealt with. One map has a flagroom so bad that hardly anybody can defend with over 30+ fps unless you have a god computer.

 

beaver creek should get removed imo

 

I think there are some changes that need to be made, but aside from those changes nothing should change. From that quote, it seems as if they want to totally remake CTF.

 

Like what others have said, it would be awesome if Brawl keeps all the current map rotation from CTF. Then later down the road, would have a open poll to see which maps are liked by the players and which aren't. We did have a ingame voting system when it comes to maps.

 

Aesthetics are nice. I like unique maps. As in not a million other castle-based maps.
Flag rooms themselves have to lean ever-so-slightly towards Defense, in my opinion. I mean, the most difficult thing on the game should be to capture, right? It's literally the goal of the game.

^^^ Just some advice for basically-inevitable map-making.

In general, we like maps that feel good to play on.
If it's new, it most likely needs straight balance and gameplay to win a lot of people over.
If it's old, it needs to retain a lot of the old character of the map. It should make you say "Ooh, this one again."
Aesthetically, anything that would be considered a good build is acceptable. Try to make sure both the building/structure aspects and terrain aspects look good.

ya keep most of our maps and maybe get rid of the 3 lowest voted ones for new maps imo (castle pls <3) @Puffy_Bunny

 

Quick input, @chickenputty, we had a system of yes and no ratings built in so we could see the monthly ratings of maps and such, like @BridgeDweller said. If you're interested in seeing the recent ratings list from best to worst (last couple weeks, I think) I'd be happy to share it with you - just lemme know ^-^.

As for new maps, I'm interested to see what some new builders will do c:

 

We have some quite talented builders be at brawl, I wouldn't be surprised if they work on a few maps, I may also try building a new ctf map as well.

 

You might wanna try talking to @ikemulti. He's a regular CTF Map builder. Saixos, an old mod of ours (if you can get in touch with him) built a lot. Also, just in general, you might want to try looking at some of our current maps. Try looking at how things are balanced, how sponges are used, etc.

 

@Quarrelt STOP FORUM STALKING UVE BEEN SUMMONED!!!

 

Ok, thank you for the advice I will try to do these things.

 

If anyone is planning to make a map I wouldn't start straight away if you haven't played ctf before. You could make a map that is the most beautiful thing ever but it will probably have terrible gameplay and so get denied. I personally would rather use the old maps that we had, especially considering wave X is meant to be coming sometime soon

 

We need shattered rift back, as well as the original halo and waterfall.

 

So excited for this, 140 maps!!!
